<p>I requested that some of my teachers upload letters of recommendations on my behalf. All of them are having issues uploading the recommendation. Every time they hit submit, the common app page says 'error'. My school does not use naviance so I do not believe that is the issue. They have been trying for some time now and I do not know what to do. I have tried contacting common app and have not been able to reach them. I am on break now, but still am in touch with my teachers. I know most of the procedures for this sort of thing are to contact the colleges and let them know. I have already contacted some of them and they said my teachers must fill out paper recommendations and mail them in. I am applying to 10 schools and so I do not want my teachers to have to fill out 10 forms each. </p>
<p>I know the recommendations can be submitted a little bit late but I do not want to take that risk. I go back to school on January 7th and by the time I get back already a week will have gone by from the January 1st deadline. Should I just submit my application and continue to try contacting common app? I really do not know what to do at this point.</p>
